Method

  1. Thaw Eggs: Thaw 3 cups eggs (for 100 servings) for 48 hours in refrigerator. CCP: Hold at 40 °F or lower.
  2. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pans: Preheat oven to 350 ̊F. Spray 4 – 12” x 20” x 4” (1 pan per 25 servings) steamtable pans with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cloves, and salt.
  4. Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate large bowl or standing mixer, whisk bananas until mashed. Add pears, eggs, and vegetable oil. Whisk until ingredients are blended. CCP: Hold at 40°F or lower.
  5. Prepare Batter: Slowly fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Mix until fulling incorporated. Do not over mix, as half pears must be identifiable to credit. CCP: Hold at 40°F or lower.
  6. Prepare Crumble Topping: Add oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and butter to a food processor with the S-blade or in a large bowl. Using the food processor or a dough cutter, cut the butter into the dry ingredients to form a crumb topping.

Cut into 5 x 5-inch pieces. (Note: Bread is best if made the day before. This bread is high in moisture. Keep refrigerated for best quality.) Serve hot or cold.
